Good to Know Travel Planning Information

  • The holy year of Jubilee is celebrated every 25 years by the Catholic Church

  • Vatican City, Rome, and Italy are preparing for this coming year of Jubilee, which will begin Christmas 2024 and end in early January 2026.

  • You can find information on the current status of renovations and projects in Rome on the Roma Si Trasforma website

  • Tours of the Vatican are expected to sell out, and even those with tickets may find their tours cancelled due to Vatican events throughout the year. If seeing the Vatican, the museums, and the Sistine Chapel is a high priority for you, let’s discuss your options.

  • Italy is expecting an additional 30 million + additional tourists in 2025 on top of the normal amount

  • What this means for your travel plans

    • Book early to secure your travel components before they sell out

    • Plan to see large crowds, especially in major cities and at major religious sites

    • Expect things to move a bit slower than you’d anticipate as you’re traveling through Italy, as Italians work to welcome and care for millions of people visiting their country

2025 is the next Year of Jubilee

  • Ensure your passport is valid at least 6 months after your return date

  • Book your airfare with the EXACT name that is on your passport

  • Book using a major, reputable airline - avoid third party booking engines

  • Book directly on the airline’s website

  • Prioritize nonstop flights, or one layover maximum

  • Remember that due to flight duration and time change, you will arrive in Italy the day after you depart from the US

  • Plan to sleep on your flight from the US to Italy so you wake up rested and are more likely to avoid jet lag

  • If necessary, invest in upgraded seats, noise cancelling headphones, and anything else that will assist you in falling asleep and staying asleep on your flight to Italy

  • If you check luggage, invest in apple airtags or a similar GPS tracker to locate your luggage in case it gets lost

  • If you check luggage, be aware that you will need to recheck it when you go through customs (for example, flying from ORD Chicago to CDG Paris, and from CDG Paris to FCO Rome, you will need to recheck your luggage in Paris)

  • Consider investing in Global Entry to utilize expedited customs lines upon your return to the US

Recommendations For Booking Your Flights

getting there

Getting to the Venue

Navigate to:

Fossanova, Italy

Via San Tommaso d'Aquino, 1, 04015 Priverno LT, Italy

  • Option 1: (highly recommended)

    • Meet your private prearranged driver in the arrivals hall. They’ll escort you to your vehicle, load your luggage, and drive you directly to Fossanova to check in to your accommodations - about an hour and half drive depending on traffic

  • Option 2: (recommended for those comfortable driving in Italy)

    • Pick up your prearranged rental car from FCO airport and drive to the venue. I recommend opting for the insurance that covers you to walk away in case of any problems for peace of mind

    • Be sure to either rent the GPS or set up your cell phone for international service!

  • Option 3 (most cost effective, most time and energy intensive):

    • Take the Leonardo Express direct train from Rome airport to Rome Termini train station, and from there take the regional train to Priverno-Fossanova Train Station

    • You’ll need to arrange transport from Priverno-Fossanova Train Station to Fossanova, about 5 miles drive away
